Welcome to 2020, and to a whole new year of Mystery Photos! I really hope everyone enjoys these little pictorial puzzles we bring each Monday, or at least try to! I always say that my devious plan is to put these movie titles in your brain that way if you haven’t seen them, it may get you seek them out. Plus, if you have seen them, sometimes its a nice remembering of some great (and admittedly not so great sometimes) movies out there. So here’s hoping to another year of good suggestions for you.

Our photo from last week came from Finland and is called The White Reindeer. This came out in 1952. So it is pretty obvious from the photo, this fanged vampire film pre-dated both Hammer’s Horror of Dracula (1958) and Mexico’s El Vampiro (1957) by a few years. Don’t feel bad, but I just found that out myself! Just shows you that you can always learn something new about the genre, no matter how long you’ve been a fan. Kudos out to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Aaron Christensen, Bob Hartman, and Vincent Simonelli. Well done, indeed!

So our first photo of the new year hopefully will be a classic as well some day. Take a peek at it and see what you can come up with. As always, please remember not to post your answers here so that others can have a guess. The easiest way to do it (and also the easiest way to make sure I don’t miss your guess), is to send me an email (jon@kitleyskrypt.com) with your guess. Good Luck!

Welcome to the last Mystery Photo of 2019. This will be the 47th Photo we posted this year. Didn’t make it for a full 52 shots, but we were pretty close. Over the last decade, we’ve gone through 438 Mystery Photos. That is a lot of images that I’ve put in your brain. I also think it is some of these images that got me unfriended by some people, including my own family! I want to thank everyone that takes a peak at the photos I post, and to those that send in your guesses. I hope that those of you have haven’t seen the film the photo is posted from, once you learn what it is, that maybe you seek it out. That is, after all, my master plan! Hopefully it is working. But, as always, before we get to our last photo for the year, let’s review last week’s photo. It was a little easier but figured I’d throw you a bone for the holiday! It was from the 1974 film Madhouse, starring Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, and Robert Quarry. For a film that had a great cast, an interesting story, and some beautiful (and creepy) images, it is a shame the film isn’t better. But kudos to the following for sending in the correct answer: Hoby Abernathy, Gregory Avery, Todd Barwick, Craig J. Clark, Dave Fronto, Troy Howarth, Antoinette Keen, Doug Lamoreux, Michael Shields, Todd Warren, and Greg Wojick. Well done!

Okay, let’s get to our very last photo for this decade. This is going to be a tough one. As in up until a few months ago, I had never even heard of this film, so if you don’t know it, don’t fee bad. But once we reveal the title, I would suggest everyone to see it, if only for their Horror History! Anyway, give it a peek and see what you can come up with. As always, please remember not to post your answer in the comment section. Those do get posted when you do that and I’d like to let others have a chance at guessing. So don’t post it, but just send us an email to jon@kitleyskrypt.com with your answer. Good Luck!
